MY APPROACH TO FOOT CARE

"While I hold some of the finest credentials a podiatrist can earn, I know excellent care takes more. I want you to feel that you’re in the best hands and completely confident in the care you receive. That’s why I always take the time to answer your questions, listen to you, and understand your concerns. This time we spend together can help you feel at ease but it’s also the key to providing the more personalized foot care possible - and that can make all the difference in your results." - Dr. Barton

If you have chronic heel pain resulting from plantar fasciitis or achilles tendonitis, you may be a candidate for TOPAZ, a minimally invasive technique for treating plantar fasciitis. TOPAZ can be performed in as little as half an hour as an outpatient procedure with minimal post-operative pain and faster recovery times when compared to more invasive surgical procedures.
